Consumer Description

AIR SUSPENSION HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY DURING WINTER MONTHS. HAD COMPRESSOR REPLACED IN 2-2018. IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED A MINIMUM OF 12 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT WHICH I HAVE PHOTOS OF. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NO ONE TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING THE COLD MONTHS. MOST RECENTLY I WAS IN TO HAVE THE AUTO PARK RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. SINCE THIS UPDATE MY TRUCK IS TOTAL CRAP. I HAVE LOST 3MPG IN FUEL MILEAGE, THE TRUCKSS SHIFT PATTERN AND RUNNING RPM'S HAVE CHANGED AND IT DRIVES LIKE I'M TOWING SOMETHING. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD TO GET AND AFTER MARKET PROGRAMMER TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. REALLY! SO WHEN I GO IN THE NEXT TIME THEY CAN VOID MY WARRANTY. MY TRUCK RAN LIKE A BEAST BEFORE THE UPDATE AND AVERAGED 18.5 MPG, TODAY I AM AVERAGING 14.7 ON THE SAME EXACT TRIP. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS PROGRAM.
